7:05 am
about airing their prank. >> let's get more from dan abrams. no reservations about the prank. clearly, they dinlt mean this would happen. had no guilty intent. will that shield them from prosecution? >> probably. there is a technical violation. using a listening device and broadcasting that tape. maybe a fine. i don't think there will be serious prosecution here because it would be very tough to link the actual death to the prank. now you can link it as a moral matter. but as a legal matter, there needs to be a level of foreseeab foreseeablety. >> you have to look at it separately. look at the prank. the question the prank a legal violation? putting it entirely separate from the death?
7:06 am
you can ask the question, was the prank a violation? the answer is, i'm sure they'll be able to find a technical one. same thing would happen here, by the way. if something like this happened here, everyone would look for licensing. let's get the rest of the morning's headlines from josh. >> we begin with the fiery plane crash that appears to have taken the life of jen nirks rivera. invest garrets are trying to figure out why the plane vanished from radar moments after taking off. overnight, mexican television aired these grainy images, believed to be the remains of jenni rivera's lear jet. >> it's such a big shock to the family. >> reporter: her brother, speaking out in los angeles. >> she fought for everything in
